Karina Bontes is a nature-lover, nomad and wearer of many hats. She likes to dabble in all sorts of things, and is a gardener, poet, musician, cook, environmental educator and seed saver. She has been on a nature connection journey for over five years, during which time she's plumbed the depths of her own soul, done a lot of walking and most recently, is learning how to speak bird.
With a background in environmental science and event management, Karina has worked in community development in environment and the arts and is an experienced speaker and group facilitator. Passionate about creative living and healing human-nature relationships, Karina believes that the world is a crazy beautiful place and that we all have our part to play in leaving it better for the generations to come.
When she's not dreaming up adventures and stalking lyrebirds, she does personal transformation program support for Nature Philosophy and volunteers on the board of the Canberra Seed Savers Co-operative. She has been a foundational part of Gina's Heart of the Huntress women's retreats in Australia and New Zealand for four years.

Gina Chick
My name is Gina Chick (but most people know me as Gigi). I am an accredited 5 Rhythms® dance and movement meditation teacher, breathworker, and bodyworker, following pure Awareness as a life path. I offer international Heart of the Huntress retreats, family and adult Rewilding camps in Australia, teach primitive survival skills, run regular wilderness Vision Quests in the lineage of Grandfather Stalking Wolf, and teach Quest Protector and Seven Levels of Quest in that same lineage.
I devote myself to helping people remember who and what they truly are, and with love and presence, guiding them home to their own beautiful, painful, messy, wonderful truths, while sharing tools to help move any of the stuck places holding them away from Life. For me it's all about being real, no bullshit, no guru trips. Mining the lessons for blessings. Welcoming every person to stretch their wings, be big, be bold, be allowed, be magnificent, be small, be stuck, be flawed, be true. In my reality, we are all creators and creatrixes... the only thing limiting us is our myriad beliefs and judgements, and the simple, dastardly human movement of making everything mean something. We are the prison and we are the key. I am passionately dedicated to helping people find the unique combination lock that is an unfurling human growing in divine rightness. What a journey. What an honour.
I am deeply committed to providing a safe container for transformational work, and respecting the internal authority of every single person, always. That's you. Your sovereignty matters. It is sacred. Your journey is uniquely personal and your timing is your own. I am interested in helping you find your own wisdom, whatever that looks like. The only dance you can ever do is your own. What a relief. You can't get it wrong.
Oh, and I tell way too many dirty jokes, swear like a fishwife and laugh a lot.
Lots of love from my wild heart to yours,
Gigi
